That way they could have a black box with 2 connections, and then it could randomly generate a resistor, battery, or plain wire in between or something. Just a thought for a potential design as we think about moving this sim to a general phet sim.\r\nBest,\r\nKathy\r\n\r\nArgenta added\r\n> And the resistor could have different resistances (or battery different voltages) so that students would be able to practice Ohm's law as well. This was just a suggestion from a few teachers. They also had the suggestion of changing the name of the \"Test\" scene to \"Prototype.\" "},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/phetsims/circuit-construction-kit-black-box-study/issues/comments/306871724","html_url":"https://github.com/phetsims/circuit-construction-kit-black-box-study/issues/59#issuecomment-306871724","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/phetsims/circuit-construction-kit-black-box-study/issues/59","id":306871724,"user":{"login":"arouinfar","id":8419308,"avatar_url":"https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/8419308?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/arouinfar","html_url":"https://github.com/arouinfar","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arouinfar/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arouinfar/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arouinfar/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arouinfar/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arouinfar/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arouinfar/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arouinfar/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arouinfar/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arouinfar/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2017-06-07T17:45:40Z","updated_at":"2017-06-07T17:45:40Z","body":"In Function Builder, a student can choose to have one, two, or three mystery functions.

A student could choose to explore a black box with two, three, or four terminals. Instead of populating these black boxes with a truly random assortment of resistors (with various R), batteries (with various V), and wires, we could create a large bank of black boxes for the sim to randomly choose from. The bank of options for the two terminal scene would likely be smaller than the bank of options for the four terminal scene.\r\n\r\nWe'll also need to think carefully about when the reveal button would become active -- I think the Function Builder analogy breaks down a bit here."}}
